And I'm planning on making a video called 17 Years of YouTube Experience or YouTube Advice in Two Hours or something. I saw like there's a business guy that's doing it for 23 years has hit 4 million views. So I saw that kind of video idea. I don't even know if I'll pull it off, but that's at least on my to do list because it is, it's kind of been wild. 17 years. The first church I started, the first YouTube channel I started was for my small town local church in 2007 and we did like a 10 part video blog for the pastor. It was terrible, it was ridiculous. But just the fact we even were in YouTube that early. So yeah, you fast forward to today. I've been doing video production, video editing, shooting for 20 years and YouTube for 17 and future is bright. I'm more excited about YouTube today than ever before. And I think that some people are going to be, they're not going to persevere through the challenges right now, but those who do are going to reap massive rewards.
